Overview of your London tour:

'Brush up your Shakespeare' as the popular song goes! Do this by joining me on a walking tour of the Bankside area of London, where William Shakespeare lived and worked for most of his adult life. Learn about the theatres he wrote for, The Globe and The Rose. Also view: a bustling food market, a prison and a touching memorial to him in a religious space he knew well. Discover how the creative genius was also a clever businessman, fashioning popular entertainment for the capital's inhabitants. Plays which still speak to us today. Let me share my love of The Bard and the world he lived in, with you. I'm a keen theatre goer, backed up by extensive reading about the playwright's life and times. I've been lucky. My mum took me to lots of great Shakespeare plays when I was young. These days I visit The Globe Theatre at Bankside for my Shakespeare fix! Let's discover what William Shakespeare means today by re-tracing his London footsteps together.
